Congrats. I took my test on the 13th--9 weeks after I qualified; school held up the applications in order for a couple of slower students to get qualified to test. Corporate issues only one check for all applicants of a qtr, don't you see. :(. May have to wait till those are scheduled and either pass or fail b/f my license is actually applied for. BTW, I passed with a grade of 86 (the average passing grade here is said to be 78).

I should have had my license 12 weeks ago. Maybe your process will be quicker.

Well, my school got plenty of clients for us. A possible 3 one day, and 4 another every week of the internship quarter; I never had an empty hour, so completed my body count in 7 weeks. Quarter before that got more clinic hours so got their 50 bodies in less than three full weeks; 3 weeks later, they had their license and started earning money.

lol yeah, you could probably imagine MY impatience that my class graduated at the end of march but i still had to complete 53 hours of massage internship and would get 0 - 1 client a day!! A DAY!!! :/ not to mention all the days i got sick, had important errands to run, injury, etc that kept me out for like 30 days in total maybe. wasn't until 2 weeks ago i finally finished the last of those hours.

I hear you brother--imagine my impatience, 8 weeks after I got my stuff all done and submitted. Part of the problem was created by my fellow students. Two laid out so much during internship they didn't get their bodies in till the last moment of the quarter, and another didn't get his passport photos to the school for 4 of those weeks--and when he did get them, he forgot to sign them. Or so they said--he says different, he says they had the photos much sooner. The school's corporate hdqtrs wanted to submit one check for all four interns, so they couldn't submit till had everyone's stuff--in MS a packet containing client evaluations, transcripts, etc etc had to be submitted.
